Appeals
Appeal of a Student’s Status

If the high school counselor feels that a student should have been designated as a State Scholar and was not, the student must write a letter of appeal within 60 days following the announcement of the finalists [ISAC Rules, Section 2760.30 (j)].  An appeal will be considered if incomplete and/or incorrect information was submitted to ISAC or if unique circumstances exist for a student.

The letter explaining the basis for the appeal must include the following information:

  • Student’s name;
  • Student’s Social Security Number;
  • High School’s six-digit ACT code, name, and address;
  • Dates and test scores of SAT I, ACT, or Prairie State Achievement Exam (PSAE); and
  • Class rank and class size at the end of the sixth semester.

If an appeal concerning a student’s eligibility is received, ISAC will request the high school to verify the reported data in question.  Appeal letters should be addressed to:

Manager of Applicant Services, D3A
Illinois Student Assistance Commission
1755 Lake Cook Road
Deerfield, IL  60015-5209
